The man that the runs Dream Heaven (the guest house in Udaipur where I am staying) told me that he was building a new place out of town, and mentioned that he needed to photograph the pool, as it just got filled the other day. I offered to do the photography, and he brought me out there this morning. What a place! It's like heaven. Still somewhat under construction, but to see it...gardens, grass, pool, guest houses. Wow. This is amazing, what he has created. A labor of love.
I put up a slideshow for some photos from the past week. I think they liked them! :)
Some of the cows can't get up. They get hand fed, turned and cleaned a couple of times a day.
The ambulance drove past Tiger Lake on the way back to the clinic today. Pretty.
Not all of the dogs are keen on being caught and taken away in a truck...the net is a must for catching and transporting most dogs.
We have skylights? They have...floor lights. This clear panel brought light in from below the room we were in. A metal grate is placed over it, so you can walk right across.
Ram ji, walking thru an empty building shell, looking for a dog that we got a call about.
Giving a dose of mange meds on the street. Today felt like "house call day".
We were trying to locate an animal, and never managed to reach the person who reported it. In the meantime, everyone was trying to help. 
The cattle at the dump. The dump was particularly on fire today.
Today was donkey portrait day...here's Claire, with one of the 10 donkey's that we photographed. They need some photos for nice folks that would like to sponsor a donkey...$500 for a year, I believe.
We picked up this cow today, it had been hit by a car. The guys hooked it up to IV's immediately, and put a needle into her abdomen to relieve the bloating.
Suraj and Erika. The other Erika. :)
Treatment for a cow...look in the upper left, do you see the squirrel? He was helping the whole time.
Jim caught a cobra today, it had hunkered down near the cattle and donkey paddock...a little too close for comfort. So, he caught it and then released it some distance away.
Micheline with a puppy. The puppy was well enough to get released today.
When we went to the vegetable market today (my 3rd time there) the guys got a little bolder. They followed us out to the truck and just...stared.
Saka giving special love and food to a dog in kennel A.
One of the calls today was for a "pig that needed to be rescued from a well". Although I wouldn't call this a well, it WAS a large, deep, water holding area. And it was full of trash and tree branches. The pig had fallen in somehow (or been thrown? As we rescued him, the local kids pelted him with rocks. I told them to stop) and Ram ji and Heera lal managed to loop a rope around it 3 times. The first 2, he wriggled free. The 3rd time was a charm, and up and over he went, with absolutely no appreciation for it whatsoever. He took off squealing his displeasure loudly. Pigs. Not exactly pets.
One of the stops was to the chicken factory. We needed to get eggs.
I love how nothing escapes the attention of the dogs roaming around in kennel A. Especially if food is involved.
Trudy doing paperwork. She has been reluctant to let me photograph her. This is pretty good, I think she's getting used to me!
Morning treatments.
They have 37 staff at Animal Aid. 37!!! Amazing.
